A casino stock trader has decided to place a huge chunk of his money on a stake in Las Vegas Sands. Las Vegas Sands, MGM and Wynn Resorts have gone up in double digits at the stock exchange. But the casino stock market is quite a volatile one, and things can change at any given time. All these casino operators rely on the Macao gaming traffic for a large part of their earnings. This fact makes these companies vulnerable to continuous trade contentions and other global risks.

The casino stock trader’s purchase is quite surprising given the fact that Las Vegas Sands is behind MGM and Wynn Resorts this year. If the casino stock trader is right in this judgement, he will hit the jackpot.

The president of Optimize Advisors, Michael Khouw, told the media that on Tuesday they saw a substantial call volume and this volume was the result of a very significant trade.
